Marko Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks for the comparison. I needed it as I am in the process of equipping my town with different planes. I have Duplo 7843 modified as Shell/Ferrari corporate jet for Räikkönen and Massa and 10159 . From this Century Skyway plane is at best used as air taxi for town movers and shakers. I am for the bigger cars and planes though for buildings I like the old classic style much more and you can mix these as anyway it is not about exact proportions. Quote
Zorbas Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Great plane comparison. Med-Star rescue plane was one of my early sets too, and is a favorite of mine. The rear stretcher loading door is brilliant and seemed quite innovative at the time. Yes. That was one of the reasons that made this plane my favorite one. If only TLG could do that in the Cargo Plane.Just imagine... Thanks for the comparison. I needed it as I am in the process of equipping my town with different planes.

I also have the 7893 Passenger Plane and it is bigger than the Cargo Plane. So, the idea of an air taxi is absolutely correct. I have personally named my Cargo Plane as the Antonov of my fleet I had to find a good excuse for the size Quote
Aliencat Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I absolutely love this topic, Rrigs! Keep those comparisons coming, and I'll keep watching/reading them! Quote
BillytheKid Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I had to find a good excuse for the size That's Antonov zero-something. That's the biggest cargo airplane in the world. Build to transport the russian spaceshuttle. Only russia went bankrupt and the plane was not in use anymore. An english compagny found this plane and repair it for transporting big things. When you build this plane for tranporting people is can hold 1500 persons. An 747-500 can hold 500 people, then you know how big it is. And the Antonov is build to land at sandroads (see at those lot of wheels ;) ). It can't land at Schiphol, because it's too big . I guess a B-52 is small when compared with this Antonov. Quote
paul_delahaye Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Back in 1988 (I think, could have been 86) the Russian Antonov came to the Farnborough Air Show in the UK, it wass impressive, from memory I remember it being advertised as having 28 wheels, The one impressive thing I remember is it landed on the runway, and then using reverse thrust, reversed down the runway under it's own power. quite a beast. I believe due to it's size it was then banned from UK airspace in future years due to it's size? Paul Quote
